My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi-My name is Nova.

I LOVE: to sniff and explore but I will keep you in my sight so I can come back to you for some love.
I KNOW: I'm a little shy at first. I just need a moment to know you are a friend then I like to cuddle and give kisses. I am also a good walker and politely accept treats.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE: to join you on an adventure, I'm ready. Let's go!
I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE: I am active but smart enough to know when to be calm. I am athletic and can jump high too.
SOMETHING ABOUT MY PAST: I have lived with men, women and older kids. In my previous home, I was trusted to be home alone and had free roam. I'm a little nervous around unfamiliar things. When I'm scared, I will run and hide. I'm not a fan of cats so no little critters please. I love to snuggle!
